Wind Power The Bonneville Power Administration strongly supports Northwest wind power development. We have more than 2,500 megawatts of wind power connected to our grid today and expect to have up to 6,000 MW by 2013. We are facilitating wind power's growth by: Building and financing wind-integration transmission, Revamping grid operation to handle large amounts of variable generation, Creating new wind power friendly business practices.

BPA’s Wind Integration Team is developing new approaches to managing large amounts of wind power effectively in the BPA transmission grid. We welcome your involvement.
